About the game

In Assault on the Marmot King you are in command of an expedition of the best members of the Fire-tail Lizard guild and you must infiltrate and fight to obtain loot that will allow the dissident rodents of Rodentia to live better. Plays like a roll-and-write dice game in which you mark results on a maps Sheet...but without dice. A Flip and Write game of square puzzle, patterns and road building, overlap of icon and card selection. Then record the numbers of the cards in the exploration zone for tricky chain-scoring opportunities to develop a better assault. Will you be able to take the treasures of the Marmot King and get the most Assault Points! —description from the publisher
